Akasa Skyline Pro, Premium Fanless Aluminium Case for Asus Tinker Board 2 & 2S, Raspberry Pi, Aluminium Core and Thermal Pad Included, Silent Single Board Computer Chassis, A-RA11-M3B

A very nicely made and good looking case. The case cut-outs align properly although the headphone socket does look to be slightly off centre which may well make it hard to use with all but a very slim jack plug. It also pleasantly surprised me that my bluetooth mouse and keyboard worked prefectly fine despite the aluminium casing. The red 'power on' LED is clearly visible through a small hole in the case.What the pictures and description don't reveal are that the case has proper screwed stand-offs to mount the board onto and also 3 heat sinks to spread heat from the chips out to the aluminium case, the lid of which is particularly chunky. It also includes all the screws to fasten it together, though no spares. The heatsinks consist of 2 cubes of metal and some slabs of a spongy, presumably thermally conductive, material with sticky sides. I have an Asus Tinker Board installed in mine and the case does get quite warm, so these seem to work quite well. On that point though, if you are using a Tinker Board you may need to be careful about the surface you place it on.Whether this will be OK long term with the Tinker Board, or whether I will need a more actively cooled case (because the processor does run quite hot) only time will tell, but, for now I'm really pleased with it.

This case is solid. It was bought to house a Tinkerboard in an installation where it would be running under load unattended in 30 - 35 degrees for 12 hours at a time and works fine.

Using this case with a pi 2 running picoreplayer. Assembling the box was easy and the heat distribution from the CPU and memory work well. Costing close to £30 means it's the same price as the pi 3 which seems a little odd, but it does gives the pi a professional finish.

Installed to Pi 3.Temperature is 40°C in closed shelf with modem, 42°C under 30-40% load (used for minor networking tasks, most stress I was able to do - update/upgrade/reboot. Should be even lower with proper ventilation.Sturdy, polished, but when putting in SD card, you can put it inside case, missing SD slot on board - slight inconvenience.Overall - expensive, but doing well what it is designed for.

Works well keeps pi cool

Excellent Case!

Quality and construction are first class but using a Tinkerboard S appears to be problematic. Basically the heat produced cannot be dissipated quickly enough just using the case as a heatsink. While setting up Plex it quickly reach 65C and never went below 40C following completion and when it started to do a regular scan of the libraries again it quickly maxed out at around 65C. I may have to revise using it as there's no simple way of attaching a fan and getting power to it.

Does not fit the PiE HAT as it uses the screw jokes the cases use. Returned for refund
